Lyrics:

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching one by one,The little one stops to suck his thumbAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching two by two,The little one stops to tie his shoeAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching three by three,The little one stops to climb a treeAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching four by four,The little one stops to shut the doorAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching five by five,The little one stops to take a diveAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching six by six,The little one stops to pick up sticksAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching seven by seven,The little one stops to pray to heavenAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching eight by eight,The little one stops to shut the gateAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching nine by nine,The little one stops to check the timeAnd they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrahThe ants go marching ten by ten,The little one stops to say 'THE END'And they all go marching down to the groundTo get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
